For those who love the rhythm of a stripe Les Toiles du Soleil is unparalleled. The majority of the images here were taken on our visit to their mill in St Laurent de Cerdans in the French Pyrenees. Still weaving on original shuttle looms the yarns are twisted and interwoven to create their stunning textiles.

The fabrics are a generous 180cm wide and many of the designs do not have a repeat. The cotton is the finest quality and Les Toiles du Soleil use a unique dyeing process call to ‘Le Grand Teint’ to ensure long lasting colour.

Sunbrella is commissioned to make a selection of their designs in outdoor acrylic. Tough and sun resistant their extra width is very useful on many outdoor pieces such as day-beds.
